General area[edit]

Some potentially free images, none of the park itself, but of the general area: Montanabw^(talk) 04:14, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.flickr.com/photos/findflora/5663135549/ York Bridge, just a few miles upstream from Black Sandy, but not a direct route via road. --IT'S NO DERIVATIVE WORKS, NOT ALLOWED ON COMMONS
http://www.flickr.com/photos/licious062663/6223193586/ General vicinity -- YEE HAA! MAY WELL USE THIS ONE IN ARTICLE, DEF UPLOAD TO COMMONS...DARN it's Hauser Lake, IDAHO, but will leave on commons as it's pretty
http://www.flickr.com/photos/29604926@N08/4033350818/ I think this is the Lakeside area, above York Bridge, so a bit farther upstream from Black Sandy (a few river miles, about 20 road miles) -- GOOD FOR COMMONS, WILL UPLOAD
http://www.flickr.com/photos/findflora/5663703116/ Ditto, all the Lakeside images are drier and more open country, Black Sandy is more in the canyon -- THE NON COMMERCIAL PART BARS IT FROM BEING ON COMMONS
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrabella/3513730862/in/photostream/ I think this is the view from the base of the dam, a short hike from the park -- VALID FOR COMMONS, WILL UPLOAD

Didn't find the rainbow or kingfisher one? I avoid Fair Use images if at all possible, too complicated and messy. Good Job MTBW!!! Thanks.PumpkinSky talk 10:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ended up using the moon one since the sunset one is in Idaho. PumpkinSky talk 11:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did find the rainbow, but you had it. I could not for the life of me find that great kingfisher shot. May have been buried in someone's photostream. Dang! Montanabw^(talk) 07:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
